An 83-year-old Canadian woman has been rescued after spending two days wedged behind her toilet.
A caretaker raised the alarm after noticing a pile of newspapers piled outside her apartment, The Winnipeg Sun reported.
The slightly built woman told paramedics she wasn't sure how she had managed to get stuck.
Winnipeg's fire chief told the newspaper: "Her whole body somehow became jammed behind her toilet. It was one of those strange occurrences and you wouldn't have believed it even if you had a camera and had taken a picture."
The woman had sore ribs, but didn't appear to have any broken bones. She is expected to make a full recovery. |
